How many of us will form new resolutions for
the coming year, only to be modified later on; to
turn over a new leaf, and not turn the cover with
it? As is said in the play, ‘We pause for a reply.”

will engage quite largely in the poultry business

The Reformed church had their Christmas en-
tertainment on Sunday evening last. It was de-
cidedly interesting throughout. The singing was
of a high order of excellence, all the speakers did
well and the little folks delivered their pieces like
born orators. The church was crowded to its ut~
most capacity.
John ;Dunkle has greatly improved his resi-
dence by erecting a sun parlor, or enclosed porch
on the east side of the back building. The side
of the porch is entirely of sash and glass. The
interior and the room adjoining is as light as
day. The addition is all of hard wood, hand-
somely finished and presents a very attractive
appearance. The entire arrangement and work
‘| "was executed by that able mechanic, R. S. Ken-
nelley.
The Holidays here were observed about as usu-
al. On Christmas day presents were exchanged,
the little folks had their usual supply of candies
and toys, while turkeys suffered to a considera-
ble extent. The snow storm in the evening
made fine sleighing next day and of course the
beaux took advantage of it. The Lutheran enter-
tainment on Christmas eve was an interesting oc-
‘casion. The program was lengthy, consisting of
addresses, singing and recitations and were aii
well delivered. At the conclusion the Sunday
school scholars received a package of candy.
The entertainment was largely attended.
